Abstract
A system that registers the relationship of use and dependencies in a master source database (i.e., a registration schema) thereby providing cohesiveness between the master source data and downstream systems that receive the master source data fields. The registration schema provides rules for a generic data bridge which executes the movement of master source database data to downstream systems, providing further cohesive connection between what was registered for use and dependencies and what actually occurs in the movement of data to downstream systems. The generic data bridge's actions, on a field-by-field basis, are documented in a use and dependency model. In addition, modification of the use and dependencies registration section of the master source database allows changes to made as opposed to having to modify specific system bridges.
